Visitors to Chicago’s John Hancock Tower this weekend were, of course, treated to the skyscraper’s stunning views of Lake Michigan and downtown Chicago, but the thrill-seekers among them also had another option. On the 94th floor, up to eight people at a time can stand in a glass box that tilts out 20 degrees, dangling them 1,000 feet above the street.

Named “Tilt!,” the attraction opened Saturday morning, hydraulically lifting its first eight members of the public out into the void beyond the building’s iconic steel beams.
